Both sentences are fine. They seem to mean the same thing. The only difference between them is the prepositional phrase "with him" but it's rather redundant!
However, depending on the context, the second sentence COULD mean that he stole an umbrella! The word "took" is sometimes used as a substitute for "stole."
1. Because it was a rainy day, he took an umbrella with him.
2.Because it was a rainy day, he took an umbrella.
=================
Do we have to use 'with him' as in the first sentence? How about #2? What is the difference between Sentence 1 and Sentence 2?
